Mini Writer's Keyboard Last Update: 02/25/98

This is a replacement keyboard for the standard QWERTY soft-keyboard that comes standard on the Newton. It is intended for those who handwrite quite a bit on their Newtons. The Mini Writer's Keyboard is a smaller version of the Writer's Keyboard. However, this version no longer has vertical orientation as an option and the keyboard is always tiny.

Astronomical Precession 1.0 Last Update: 02/25/98

Astronomical Precession is a freeware calculator that will determine the position of a star in the sky based upon prior known data. If you knew where the star was (in celestial coordinates) on a certain date (epoch), this program will calculate where the star can be found at any other time within 500 years of the original data. The author credits an astronomy magazine with the original algorithm, but the Newton version is an original effort.  Credit: David Findley.

Simple Mail 2.21 Last Update: 02/24/98

SimpleMail is a Newton e-mail transport that lets you send and receive messages over the internet using POP/SMTP. It uses the Newton Internet Enabler (NIE 1.1 or NIE 2.0), so it will only work with Newton 2.0 or better. It works with MP120, MP130, MP2000 and eMate. It's compact, taking up only 87K store space. Best of all, SimpleMail is free! Credit: Simon Bell
